Wound Care

If you have a nonhealing wound, you are not alone. Every year, chronic wounds caused by diabetes, poor circulation or other conditions keep 3 to 5 million Americans just like you from taking part in their favorite activities.

The staff at the Wound Care Center, a program of Palmdale Regional Medical Center, can help you get your life back. Dedicated doctors and nurses specialize in treating nonhealing wounds, including those that have resisted healing after months or even years of traditional treatment.

Interesting to note:

• The CDC estimates that 23.6 million Americans currently have diabetes
• Each year over half of all amputations in the United States are caused by diabetes mellitus and subsequent complications, with most being lower-extremity amputations.
• Damage to the foot’s sensory nerves, diabetic neuropathy, contributes to foot deformities and/or ulcers that increase the chance of lower-extremity amputations (LEA) unless treated.
